Okay everybody,...I have sorted members and drawn teams for this years contest. We had fewer sign-ups this year, but it looks like we probably have more members that will stick with us. I have established eight teams with six members per team. There was no real consensus about changing the scoring format, so we are going to stick with the same scoring rules as we used last year. If you need to, go to the contest rules and scoring thread and refresh yourselves on that. Here's what each team needs to do: 1) All team members need to check in on the team thread 2) Choose team names and team leaders/captains 3) Track down any teammates that do not show up in the next week or so. If they don't check in, let me know and I will try to find replacements 4) hopefully, Shane or someone else that knows how to do banners will volunteer to set up the team banners again this year.

I have asked Ben to get rid of last years team threads and put up new team threads. ...Not sure when that will take place, but in the meantime, don't get confused by the 2011 team threads still being up.

Alternates/Late Signers: (these individuals will be added to teams if there are no-shows or disappearing acts, or if there are enough late-signers to add another team member to each team at a later date. Alternates will be added to teams in order of sign-up for the contest.

Well....well...well... roycefromrc and turkey junky I hope you like the Kentucky Wildcats because it looks like its going to be the BIG BLUE NATION is going to be slaughtering some boys in this contest like the basketball team is going to do in March Madness.

Im glad to see the teams are put together. Thanks again G-MAN for doing this again.
